InvalidEditFormDataException Exception

The InvalidEditFormDataException is thrown from the Provider.processEdit() method when there is an error in the data input by the user. If thrown, the Desktop will send back the same Edit page, and will attach the exception’s message as a parameter to the URL. For example, if the exception is:

throw new InvalidEditFormDataException("Error Error");

the Desktop will redirect back to the same Edit page, adding the error message to the URL error parameter:

error=Error Error

The edit page wrapper then looks for the error parameter in the URL and if present, displays the message (or the value of the error parameter) at the top of the page in red.
